Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This volume serves as the catalogue for the exhibition Unbound Elegance: Chinese Women in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1900-1960. Centered on twenty-one qipaos dating from the 1930s to the 1960s, the exhibition draws upon embroidered bound-foot shoes, hairstyle albums, immigration maps, family photograph albums, historical documents, and other material objects to reconstruct the history of Chinese women in the San Francisco Bay Area from the late Qing dynasty to the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the concept of "Curatorial Activism," the exhibition seeks to bring Chinese women-long marginalized or overlooked in mainstream narratives of immigration history-back into the center of historical discourse. Through their stories, it explores how they moved from the era of footbinding into modern society, crossed the Pacific to the United States, and established families, preserved cultural traditions, and reshaped their identities amid exclusion laws, racial discrimination, and cultural negotiation.The exhibition is organized into three sections. The first, Bound Bodies: Footbinding, Beauty, and Female Destiny, examines how the practice of footbinding shaped Chinese women's understanding of the body, beauty, and social identity, and how they lived within, adapted to, and ultimately challenged this system. The second, Across the Pacific: From "Extermination" to Rebirth, explores the racial prejudice, exclusionary legislation, and social barriers Chinese women encountered in the United States, as well as their efforts to build families, sustain communities, and claim a place for themselves in an unfamiliar society. The third, The Power of Elegance: Qipao, Identity, and the Modern Chinese Woman, uses the stories of twenty-one qipaos to illustrate how Chinese women redefined themselves through modernization, migration, and cultural transformation, creating new identities that combined tradition and modernity, East and West.The title Unbound Elegance carries a meaning beyond the beauty of dress. "Elegance" refers not merely to outward appearance, but to the ability to maintain dignity in the face of historical pressures-a strength that enabled women to remain true to themselves amid bodily constraints, racial discrimination, and cultural conflict. "Unbound," meanwhile, signifies the continual transcendence of such constraints: from bound feet to liberated steps, from exclusion to belonging, and from silence to self-expression.From the villages of Guangdong to the San Francisco Bay Area, from embroidered slippers to qipaos, from subjects written into history to individuals actively shaping it, these women crossed not only an ocean but an era. Most left behind no books, entered few archives, and rarely appeared in textbooks. Yet they helped shape the history of the Chinese American community in the Bay Area.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Open Parameters is the official catalogue of the 2023 exhibition "Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings from the Cezong Zhou Donation"Curated and written by Zeng Jingwei, the book bridges art history, curatorial practice, and cross-cultural education.Through the concept of curatorial activism, Zeng reinterprets Chinese literati art as an open dialogue between tradition and modernity, East and West. The catalogue presents works by Kang Youwei, Shen Zengzhi, and Zheng Xiaoxu, revealing how late Qing and Republican scholars used brush and ink to explore ideas of reform and self-awareness in a changing world.Combining visual documentation with critical essays, Open Parameters challenges conventional narratives that separate "traditional" from "modern." By drawing comparisons between Chinese aesthetics and Western art-from Michelangelo's David to Greek sculpture-the book invites international readers to perceive the invisible spirit (qi yun, shi) of Chinese calligraphy and painting.More than a record of an exhibition, Open Parameters embodies a living academic vision. It transforms the donated works of Professor Zhou Cezong into a bridge of understanding-linking cultures, time periods, and artistic philosophies-while reaffirming the global vitality of Chinese art in the modern world.curatorial activism This item is printed on demand.
